Personally I think Wima caps are hugely overrated and over-relied upon. Cornel Dubelier are much better sounding in electronics IMHO and not much more expensive.
I think there’s a little misunderstanding. DC or direct coupled means that the signal path is not interrupted by a capacitor. This means that the signal relies on one side of a cap as input, the other as output. However, that’s not to say there are not caps shorting to ground from the signal. Bypass caps in the power supply, or signal can affect the sound quality, but we expect it to be to a lesser degree than coupling caps.
The only way to know for sure is to trace the signal.
Best,
Erik
